Games With Gold December 2013: Gears of War, Shoot Many Robots

Gears of War and Shoot Many Robots will be free for Xbox Live Gold members in December.

Epic's brutal third-person shooter will be available from December 1-15; Shoot Many Robots is free from December 16 through the end of the month. These games normally cost $20 and $10 to download, respectively.

The Games with Gold program, which began earlier this year, offers two free games to keep every month for Xbox Live Gold members. Microsoft’s Major Nelson announced earlier this month that Games with Gold is coming to the newly released Xbox One.

Gears of War thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.
